Longtime Eugene entertainer and karaoke host Dan Henson died Sunday at age 58.
Friends and fans can visit www .caringbridge.org /visit/danhenson to get updates on a public memorial and how to help Henson’s family with medical bills incurred during Henson’s hospitalization for acute promyelocytic leukemia.
The Web site already has had almost 6,000 visitors since the family set it up in late November. Henson, the site says, never let a debt go unpaid. Henson’s adult children will keep his entertainment business going.
I knew Dan for years and he was a very talented person with a voice that was nothing but amazing for sure, and a talent for knowing that makes people get up to sing and dance.
He tried numerous times unsuccessfully to get me behind the mic, but my chicken feather came out, and I am sure that I did the crowd a big favor by not singing
The last time I spoke with him was when he was playing at the Red Lion on Coburg rd and he has mentioned that he was thinking very seriously about going back on the road again with his one man band.
Dan was one of the best in karaoke in Eugene, in fact some say that be made karaoke popular.
if any one can help the family with medical costs that would be really great.
Dan's celebration of life will be held on Sunday, January 17th between 1-5 at the Valley River Inn.
Some of his music may be heard at www.danhanson.com and purchased for $15.00 by e-mailing dadsfund@yahoo.com
Rest in piece my friend, you will not be forgotten.
